3 Days Hakuna Matata Kenya Safari

We start our adventure at the foot of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli National Park. To witness Africa’s highest mountain break through the cloud layers into bright sunshine is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Amboseli is Big Game Country, and especially the huge herds of Elephants found here contribute to the park’s popularity. From Amboseli, we travel to famous Tsavo West National Park, home to the legendary “Man-Eaters” of Tsavo and to a rich ensemble of astonishing wildlife.

Itinerary

Day 1: Nairobi – Amboseli National Park

Stop At: Amboseli National Park, Amboseli National Park, Amboseli Eco-system, Rift Valley Province
Our driver will comfortably pick you up from your hotel or the Nairobi airport at 7:00am. We then together proceed to Amboseli National Park via Maasai land. On a clear day we marvel at majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as we approach Amboseli. Upon entering, we enjoy a game drive en-route to our accommodation, arriving in perfect time for lunch. We have time to relax and dip into the inviting swimming pool, then we set out for a game drive. Amboseli is best known for its great herds of Elephants – you’ll often find plenty of them standing knee-deep in the water, spraying water, eating and bathing in the swamps to cool off. Predators stalk the herds of grazing animals, recreating the age-old drama of life and death under the African sun, in a setting so lushly beautiful.

Cheetahs, Buffaloes, Giraffes, different types of Gazelle and rich plains game are but a few examples of the stunning wildlife found here. As the sun goes down on Amboseli NP, we return to our accommodation for dinner.

Duration: 1 day

• Lunch

Day 2: Amboseli National Park – Tsavo West National Park

Stop At: Tsavo National Park West, Tsavo National Park West, Coast Province
On our second day of safari adventures, we greet the new day with a spectacular morning game drive right at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. Later, we enjoy a delicious breakfast, before departing to Tsavo West National Park. On our way to Mzima Springs, where Hippos and Crocodiles can be watched from the safety of an underwater hide, we pass the impressive Shetani Lava Flow (“Shetani” means “devil” in Swahili). When the lava erupted some few hundred years ago, the locals thought that the devil himself was emerging from the earth. After returning from our adventure, we check in at our lodge and comfortably take lunch. We have time to relax until 4pm, then head off for a visit to the Park’s Rhino Sanctuary. We spot Elephants, Giraffes, an abundance of bird species and – of course – the endangered Black Rhinos. All against the backdrop of Tsavo West’s beautiful hilly landscape.
Duration: 12 hours

Day 3: Tsavo-West to Mombasa

Stop At: Mombasa, Mombasa, Coast Province
How to better start a new day in paradise than with setting out for more safari adventures on a breathtaking game viewing trip? A last game drive in Tsavo West reveals more of the park’s beauty. Hilly bushlands, dense vegetation and an astonishing richness of wildlife. Remember to keep a sharp lookout. You may witness a dramatic hunt, a solitary Leopard retrieving its kill from the high branches of an acacia tree, or a herd of Elephants protecting their young from predators. Given the rich vegetation, the animals can be tricky to spot at times. This should not discourage you, as in fact it can make your safari experience even more exciting. The reward is worth the extra patience!

We later enjoy a delicious breakfast at our accommodation, then go for a game drive en-route to Voi Town for lunch. Then we drive on towards Mombasa, where we safely arrive at your hotel in the late afternoon. Your safari ends here, but you return home with the memories of a lifetime – that much is certain!
